Momentum and Melody
paintings by Emilia Arana
December 6-27
Reception Sat Dec 6, 6-9pm
"I come to drawing and painting from a background of careful looking and listening. A master’s degree in art history trained me in the close and meticulous study of surfaces. As a pianist, I have to find the spirit of music at some level of my art as I study and evaluate it. This partnership of art and music has led me to abstract painting, following years of representational work.
After several careers, I find the best expression of my self in the mysterious unfolding of an abstract painting. That process is an ever-changing place where I can explore music, though in a dimension so different from the classical Schubertian world. The surface becomes a place where metaphor, space, color, and feeling can evolve, not only for the artist, but for the viewer who completes the journey of the painting." -Emilia Arana

Joseph Gross Gallery
As early as 1957 the Art Department had a small exhibition space, aptly named the Educational Gallery. Exhibiting student and faculty work, the gallery changed locations and was renamed the 101 Gallery in 1977. Joseph Gross, Ph.D., established the Joseph Gross Gallery in 1978 in honor of his father, Joseph Gross Sr., an art enthusiast and essential oils manufacturer who was born in Vienna in 1900 and immigrated to the United States in 1926.
Over the years the Joseph Gross Gallery has changed exhibition focus, expanding its program to include emerging and established professional artists. Closing in 1990 for construction, the new building was dedicated in 1993. In 1998 the Joseph Gross Gallery celebrated its 20-year anniversary with the exhibition, "Tribute" featuring works by some of the students, faculty and renowned professional artists who had shown at the Gallery over the years.
The Gallery continues to exhibit student, faculty, and professional artists of excellence in a broad range of media and concepts.
Lionel Rombach Gallery
Started in 1977, the 830 Gallery at 830 E. Speedway was the first student gallery for the University Art Department. The gallery was managed entirely by students, and relocated several times until a space was dedicated in the new Joseph Gross Gallery building in 1993.
In 1997, the 830 Gallery became the Lionel Rombach Gallery. Lionel Rombach
is a University of Arizona alum and generous donor to educational programs.
The goal of the gallery is to provide an exhibition space for students to realize their artistic visions and learn about gallery management under the guidance of faculty and the gallery curator.
Currently both galleries are located in the Joseph Gross gallery.
Black & White Mixed media group exhibition featuring Carson Fox, Mark Pomilio, Sal Sirugo, Tim Diggles, Ralph Iwamoto and others.
